I noticed this also, and was quite surprised. Actually, Borders has supplied "graphic novel" tradepaperbacks for as long as I've known about the chain, but this is the first time I've seen them in magazine format.<BR>

Personally, I think Borders will be a reliable place to find the new Disney comics, as they seem to have semi-obscure comics, even in the previously-mentioned magazine format.<BR>
<BR>
If this is the case, it's a definite plus, as the average mainstream shopper is going to see them there ("Mommy! Mommy! It's a Donald Duck book! Can I have it?") more than the everyday comic book store, ala where they seem to be headed.<BR>
<BR>
Just a few random thoughts.<BR>
